    The MoCA also measures a wider range of abilities including executive functions, a higher level cognitive ability required for the implementation of goal-directed behavior and the process of creating and fulfilling a plan. For these reasons, the MoCA was chosen as the comparator assessment of cognition in this study. The cut off score for the MoCA has widely been research and inconclusive. The original cut off score was 26/30 for normal cognition, however many argue the score is too low. This study suggests a computerized battery (CBS- Cambridge Brain Sciences Battery) for patients scoring 23-26, that have a borderline cognitive impairment in order to classify them as impaired or unimpaired. Five tasks from the original 12 of the CBS were chosen to assess aspects of short-term memory, attention, reasoning, and planning. Results: Only two of the tasks were able to distinguish between impaired and unimpaired. Utilizing these tasks in conjunction with the MoCA provides more information regarding testers that fall in the "borderline" category 23-26. The older adults were accepting of the electronic technology.

    Drivers with ADHD, Autism or both diagnosis are at a higher risk for accidents due to right-eye visual acuity, selective attention, visual-motor integration, cognition, and motor performance. This study found that they made more errors on the driving simulator pertaining to visual scanning, speed regulation, lane maintenance, adjustment to stimuli, and total number of driving errors. This article mentions that because of this, kids with ADHD/Autism or both need a driving specialist prior to getting behind the wheel.
